On Sunday in the Cardiff v Warners Bay Women’s Cup match Andy Baldwin will walk out for the 200th time. In doing so, Andy becomes just the 14th Umpire to reach the 200 Match milestone. Because all of Andy’s matches are as a Goal Umpire, he also becomes the 6th Goal Umpire to achieve this feat. "Stats" is a jack of all trades. He ably assists in the committee where required, keeps the current statistician in check with corrections and additions, and he is a terrific person in general.
Andy has officiated in 93 Black Diamond Cup matches, inside the top 20 in this statistic, and is 6th overall for First Grade matches officiated by a goal umpire. Andy has officiated in 4 Black Diamond Plate Grand Finals (2013, 2017, 2018, 2019), the 2015 Black Diamond Womens Cup Grand Final and the 2020 Black Diamond Shield Grand Final.
200 matches is a testament to the dedicated service Andy has given over many years and is an outstanding achievement.
Tomas Steward will become the 103rd Umpire to achieve the milestone of 50 Matches in the Gosford v Newcastle City Men’s Cup match on Saturday. His tally of 50 matches includes 44 Black Diamond Cup matches and he has officiated in the 2018 Black Diamond Womens Cup, 2019 and 2020 Black Diamond Plate Grand Finals. Tom is our current Secretary and is doing a fantastic job at present.
Amelia Luck will become the 17th Umpire to achieve the milestone of 100 Black Diamond Cup Men’s Matches with the Terrigal-Avoca v Maitland match. Amelia is the third umpire to reach 100 Black Diamond Cup games, having officiated in all three disciplines at the top level (Richard Judd and Lee Gardener the other two), which is a rare and unique achievement. This week represents Amelia's 18th BDC match as a field umpire, to go with 63 on the boundary and 19 in the goals.
Jack Donovan-Schultz, a new umpire to the league, is debuting in the Black Diamond Cup as a boundary umpire this weekend. He will become the 210th boundary umpire to do so.
Congratulations to all of our umpires on their milestones in Round 3 and good luck to all teams and umpires on the weekend.
